Miller's approach to tackling these subjects is refreshingly subtle and the level of nuance in his lyrical approach make his messages much more poignant. Miller still consistently bares his soul about his various struggles with drugs, depression and dealing with fame, it's just that this time around he's rapping about his demons in the past tense. Miller's artistic progression has also carried over to his lyrics. While Miller's rapping has steadily improved with each release he puts out, his newfound ability to tailor his flow to a large variety of beats allows him to make his biggest strides to-date.
On GO: OD AM, Miller still spends plenty of time in his trippy cloud niche ("Clubhouse", "Time Flies", "Two Matches"), but also demonstrates an ability to rap over everything from trap bangers ("When in Rome", "Cut the Check") to piano-fueled jazz rap ("100 Grandkids", "Weekend") with equal conviction and precision. Miller only sounded truly comfortable rapping over psychedelic, cloud rap beats and every time he strayed from that sound, he sounded stilted and awkward. Since he overhauled his sound a couple of years ago, his flow has been fairly limited. The most noticeable improvement Miller shows on GO: OD AM is with his delivery and sharpness as an MC.
